I cant say enough good things about Cara, although Ill try. I was at wits end with my rescue pup pulling on a leash. In just the first session, we covered so much! The best part is Cara acts a coach, to teach me how to teach my dog. So many trainers just take over and do it themselves. Cara did not do this. We got so much out of just one session, and I am very much looking forward to building on this, and using her again. I am more than pleased!! These adjectives wont do her justice, but I would use punctual, professional, caring, knowledgeable, funny, positive, patient, sincere, respectful, empathetic, a good listener, and a skilled coach. Presley and I thank you. We feel so lucky to have found you!

Frequently asked questions

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

Take a look at the services on my site, fill out our contact form, book a time and I will come help!

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

I am a certified professional dog trainer through Karen Pryor Academy, KPA-CTP

I have 17+ of owning a dog walking company

I have attended an incredible amount of training seminars

I run the #1 AKC preferred agility Boxer and #4 top all around agility Boxer. I have titled many dogs in many sports

How did you get started in this business?

I met my husband at the dog park and came up with the idea to start a dog walking business. It then grew to dog training as that is my true passion, helping people see the true wonder of their dog.

What types of customers have you worked with?

I work with your rambunctious puppy, your over-aroused dog or the dog you want to run agility courses with. From manners to performance, I can help with most anything.

Describe a recent event you are fond of.

Becoming and holding the #1 preferred AKC agility Boxer spot. We're headed to invitationals, back to Westminster and to Nationals.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a pro in your area of expertise?

Ask what methods they use. Balanced trainers use negative reinforcement as well which can compound issues for your dog. Look for a trainer that replaces undesirable behaviors with desirable ones by extinguishing the bad, not "correcting it out of them". Applying force on your dog stops the behavior, it does not train it to not reoccur. I will help your dog learn to present the behaviors you want.

What questions should customers think through before talking to pros about their needs?

What are your expectations and goals for you and your dog? What are reasonable and what might not be?
